Biography

Willow Brocke is an outstanding entertainer as well as a composer and vocalist. Her lyrics are honest and surprising - drawn from her unique life experience as well as her Cherokee and Norwegian heritage. Her soulful voice and dynamic range soar beautifully over her talented band which is made up of some of the best jazz and session players in Western Canada. Like Willow, they are equally at home in the genres of jazz, R&B, Soul and Pop music. Willow co-composed eight of the songs on her newly released CD with pianist Sheldon Zandboer to create a unique original sound that blends pop and jazz elements over hot grooves - in a dynamic, yet soothing listening experience that appeals to a sophisticated adult audience. Video for the single "Driving into Winter", directed by Alberta filmaker Ian Matheson is now in post production and will be released in June of 2009.

The band also performs surprising covers of other popular artists that make audiences sit up and take notice - while preserving the most beloved elements of these crowd favourites.

Lyrics

Walk in Beauty

Written By: Willow Brocke

Light to morning, mauve to flowerLove I feel binds every hourGathers strength on wings of willOpening inside me still

Morning drinks the clouds at dawnStirred up on the song of larkBeauty pulses through my bonesChanting like a bed of stones

Chorus: I walk in beauty I walk in beauty I walk in beauty….to you

Winter rocks the sleeping treeWind will sing itself to sleepChildren made of broken starsGather flowers where they are

Does it Steal Your Soul?

Her colours caught his eye, so unlikelyBeauty curving, Must be with her, can’t resist herAn angel who’d been kissed by Dirty rain

He’ll let her touch begin, to reach the depths of him

Chorus: She’s asking: Where’d you lose it lover? Lover where’d it go?Does the world you live in…Does it steal your soul?Does it steal your soul?Steal your soul.

Steps in, to the fire, where the love is madeStumbles into her mysteryLosing shame, losing masks and historyHe learns to breatheWoman full of grace, full of rhythmFull of starlightTakes him down, takes him deeperTo find out what he lost along the way

Bareback

Written By: Willow Brocke & Sheldon Zandboer

It's always on your mindLooking for that break you need You're hungry all the timeFor the life you hope to find oh

Chorus: Now you're high and now you're lowWhere it's all going no one knowsYou're dreams are riding bareback On your soulThat's all you need to know

Working hard to shineShaking hands and making plans You're hungry all the timeFor the life you hope to find oh

Bridge:Feel the gallop of desireEchoing across your lifeJust close your eyes and ride

So Into You

Written By: B. Buie, D. Daughtry, R. Nix

When you walked into the roomThere was voodoo in your eyesI was captured by your styleBut I could not catch your eyesNow I stand here helplesslyHoping you'll get into me

Chorus:I am so into youI can't get to nothin' elseI am so into you BabyI can't get to nothin' elseThinkin' how it's gonna beWhenever I get you next to meIt's gonna be good, don't you knowHead to toe

Quiet Space

Written By: Willow Brocke & Sheldon Zandboer

I can't solve your problemsI don't have the money you need toTake that big vacationEven though you really deserve oneI am not a BuddhaI get cramps just sitting for too longBut I know I could'veBeen a better friend When you needed one

Pre-Chorus:So if you'll let meI wanna be the one to...

Chorus:Make a quiet space Inside my heart for youListen to you closely When you speak your truthSo turn around, turn aroundI'm here for you now

Sometimes I get caught upIn myself forgetting to notice thatSomeone else feels screwed upGetting so annoyed When you interruptShould'a, would'a, could'aI'll spare you my list of excuses andBring the tea and true loveYou have earned for justPutting up with me

Bridge:I may not know what to doBut I'll be here for youSo please forgive me andLet's see what's inside of you

The Kiss That Tells

Written By: Willow Brocke & Sheldon Zandboer

Make it tender, make it lovelyMake it come right straight From your heartWrap it in everything I've ever wantedTo make me want, make me wantTo stay...

Chorus:'Cause just one kiss is all I need To tell meJust one kiss will be the one that tellsThere's no way to know If you're the real thing Darlin'No way to know until the kissThe kiss that tells

I feel nervous, a little shy stillSomething tells me this is the nightYou pull me close and I'm closing my eyes, we'll Make it last, make it last Awhile...

Bridge:And I am a girl whose heart is wiseI'll recognize a kiss that liesThat kind of a kiss Can only try but failsTo be the kind of kiss that tells

Young Blood

Written By: Rickie Lee Jones

Just take a walk around midnightIn the cityYoungblood is hiding there somewhereYou're looking for something to doThere's always something Happening there

Like I and Bragger we borrowedA coup todayHere come Pepe, she got a friendWith a ChevroletShe ain't runnin' she's justWalking a little slowShe ain't cryin' she's justSingin' a little

Chorus:City will make you dirtyBut you look alrightAnd you feel real pretty when he's Holdin' you tightCity will make you meanBut Darlin' that's just make-upOn your faceLove will wash you clean In the night's disgrace

Find a block where your peopleCan find youKeep your third eye watchin' Behind youYou never know when you're Makin' a memoryThey'll wish that they were thereTogether again, someday

Kid's lookin' for somethin' to get intoTake a lookTwo for the movie showThree for the back rowHold tightRemember you might'a felt likeCool twelve but your fuse feltJust like dynamite
